São Francisco River BasinSão Francisco River Basin
25.6 million hectares (40%) ofagricultural land.
Water demands => 224 m³/s.Being: 28 m³/s (12.5%) => urban supply; 160 m³/s (71.4%) => irrigation; 7 m³/s (3.1%) => animal consumption 29 m³/s (13%) => industrial purposes
2,700 km from its headwaters to its mouth;
draining a 639,219 km2 area (8%) 503 Municipalities and a population
of 15,545,866 million of people
About 85% of the SF water is originated in the cerrados and 72% comes from the State of Minas Gerais.
The long term mean discharge in the mouth varies from 2,850 to 3,360 m3/s.
The Basin has a potential power generation of 26,346 MW.9,290 MW is already installed.
HDI varies from 0,823 in the upper SF to 0,538

Why Preto River?Why Preto River?
• Logistically is the most adequate place;
• Upper Catchments with serious water conflicts => Irrigators
• Lack of information for planning
• Impact of the results
